Grey November

Work has taken me this time to Langkawi Island for a project that’s been handed down to me.

Four Seasons Resort Langkawi is one of the two 5 star resorts along my destination just beside the neighbouring Tg. Rhu Resort.

The hour long flight and a mere 20 minute cruise along the roads of Langkawi Island brought me to the north end of geopark at Tanjong Rhu Beach.  Ever wondered why it’s called Tg. Rhu?

Tg. Rhu or Casuarina Cape is home to Casuarina trees, mangroves and limestone hills.

Even though most of the beach is owned by the resorts, there is a public beach right at the end of Jln Tg. Rhu that is home to local traders.  Boating activities are as low as RM 180 for a boat rental for 7 people.

Tg. Rhu beach fronts the Andaman Sea, with gentle stroaking waves and a 1.5km white sandy beach.  IMHO, it’s not that beautiful in comparison with Pulau Perhentian but its exclusiveness appeals to the luxury class foreigners from Arab.

Rooms at both resorts starts from RM 1,600 per night to RM 17,000.  I gathered from the locals here that Michael Schumacher is a frequent visitor to Tanjong Rhu.

Putting that all aside, I love the sounds of the waves as they gush towards the shoreline especially when you are thinking of the sheer size of the world that lies beyond you.

This blog was never meant to a personal blog, but this particular post I’ll make an exception.

In response to Grace’s recent blog post,

“8. Playing with your hair… I can’t live without you “

Yesterday was Valentines and today is Single’s Awareness Day. WTFreak. Does a day like that exist? Perhaps for Gerald.

Zondervan Comparative Study Bible

Grace gave me the bible that I wanted to get a long time ago!

Emo right?

I got her ummm…I don’t know what it’s called.

This year round, I decided to take Grace to somewhere different from the usual fine dining restaurants. It’s a place called the Look Out Point situated in Hulu Langat, Selangor that has a full view of KL city.

One of the best views of KL City

Look Out Point is located along Jalan Hulu Langat which is on the way from Hospital Ampang and Puteri Park Plaza in Cheras/Ampang.

Is heaven shining upon the coming elections?

There are 3 restaurants in Look Out Point; Gasoline, Look Out Point Restaurant and the best of them all was BREAD & OLIVE Cafe.

Bread & Olives is the middle restaurant!

The restaurant was great with prompt service and excellent waiters. The Boss of Bread & Olive is Filipino, Spanish, Malaysian and Chinese. I think.

The Mexcican Dish is nice.

Pizza just rocks!

The killer point of Look Out Point is not the food though, but the view of KL city that is breathtaking at worst.

Dining with a view to kill.

Seriously this place is worth coming to regardless of occasion. Best come before 7 pm as the parking space is limited and you will have to park at the foot of the hill.

Simply gorgeous.

=) Take a drive up.

I attended a friend’s wedding down south over the weekend.

Marriages when two souls meld into one, hoping for a happily ever after.

That being said, why is the bridegroom wiping perspiration of his forehead?

Oh no.

It’s the 21st again and frankly, I just thought of it as another day passing without much anticipation awaiting me at the start my birthday. As it falls nearing the end of November, not many remember this day; those remembering it casually texts me on my mobile. Having your birthday during the holidays just ain’t fun at times.

Things were the same this time round, albeit it being worse as I still have projects and my thesis to finish.

Well, everything was boring till…..

Out of the blue, Christopher Paul, Ivan Wong, Isaac Leong Hin Loong and Johnny Lee gate crashed. All thanks to master mind Grace Ong that is.

Along with them was the birthday burstday cake, some cheesecake from Secret Recipe that I’ve never consumed before which turned out pretty delicious!

Seriously, I’ve never gotten such a surprise birthday thingy like this since I was in Form 3, and that ended horribly as all my gifts went missing in McD’s. All these years I’ve never had any elaborate birthday celebrations, most of them was just having a pleasant dinner with my loved ones. Pretty boring one could say.

This year proved it not.

Thanks Gerald Ho, Ivan, Loong, Johnny and Ps. Victor was this beautiful 2007/08 Manchester United Jersey! I’m utterly speechless right till this moment over this magnificent gift!

My parents didn’t purposely get me this for the birthday, but we were already in the market for a used vehicle to replace the old faithful Mazda that is finally showing its age after 28 years. Guess God really blessed me with this, timing was perfect.

Last but not least, Grace got me this really gorgeous chronograph from Nautica. Somehow she really knows my taste for watches; it was just the right face size, not too big, not too small.

I would just like to thank all of you for making this year one hard to forget. I truly cherish everything that you’ve all done and thank God for our fellowship. Better stop here, before I sound gay-er than Ivan.
